As a forum volunteer ( user ), I can't give any timeline about when certain language will be added by Google to the Google Translate product nor have any idea about the work Translate team is doing. Because, Google team does not share the inside info with the forum moderators.
Google reads all the user feedbacks. So, please keep sending it. There's no other way to reach out to the team.
I hope this clarifies. Thanks

Hi Rana Zubair,
Welcome to the user moderated Google Translate support community.
I understand Google Translate doesn't list this language and you wish to get this added to the product.
Google is constantly working to add more languages and it doesn't say what languages are being worked upon or when will these languages be added to the existing list.
There are many factors that impact Google's ability to support new languages, but here are some indicators for a strong candidate language:
- It’s a written language
- It’s actively used on the web together with translations into other languages (news articles, multilingual websites, books, government pages and so on)
- by “actively” Google means there are millions of translated words available
- Speakers of the languages are eager to partner with Google and offer their language expertise through Translate Community tasks
If you think the stated language needs to be added to Google Translate, then send your feedback ( through - https://translate.google.com/ ) and explain why this language is required in your comments.
Please note that Feedback team doesn't reply to user submissions but will look into the suggestions and if it really improves the Google Translate product, they may incorporate user suggestions in the future.
I hope this helps. Thanks

But from last year, i sent so many feedbacks to translate nd google search but no responce.
I already mentioned Punjabi is an ative language and thousands of people are ready to contribute.
And there are many websites in Punjabi پنجابی like microsoft, wikipedia have 55k article in punjabi پنجابی. Tiktok and many websites and news portal in pakistan.
Sindhi is used by only 25 million and added on google.
Punjabi(india) is used by only 28 million people and added on google.
But,
Punjabi(pak) is used by 100 million people but not added.
Kindly talk to moderators or refer me to them, or give me their contacts. I will do contact.
